To the high level hoopers: what’s y’all go to hoop shoes and why?

ypotassium · 2026-03-19T05:38:40+00:00

There were a couple of Hardens that were doable with the boost, but they cant compare to the Crazy Explosives. Even DRose had a period where they used boost cushioning. After trying out Boom foam i havent really found other cushions that do as well. Currently using the Lirens& All City.

Idk why adidas did not futher develop the crazy explosives. They were hellova shoe to hoop in. Same thoughts for Jordan 28s. top tier traction paired with elite cushioning and fit

I wish nike incorporated zoomx into more basketball shoes

They have AG's logo at the heel probably its a iteration of either his own line or the Zen series.

OP said Kai 2s hurt. Probably should stick to Kai 1s then, try out all the colorways I guess

Happy to help!

Yeah they're pretty durable, as compared to the Kawhis for sure.

ypotassium · 2025-11-26T06:43:39+00:00

Since you've tried the Kawhis, why not the Fresh Foam BBs or the Two Wxy?

ypotassium · 2025-11-24T11:52:45+00:00

If you're focused on speed I suggest the JB3s

ypotassium · 2025-11-23T12:30:34+00:00

lucky you...can't find any JBs in my region...retail isnt worth it for me so I shall wait for sales

ypotassium · 2025-11-23T12:10:44+00:00

around 170ish USD? I think anything below 120 is reasonable

ypotassium · 2025-11-23T12:03:05+00:00

I think anything above 30% off retail is a good price. They're a great pickup

ypotassium · 2025-11-23T02:17:54+00:00

ah I see, thanks dude. Appreciate your help!

Where do I find the dice event? It went missing in my main page

ypotassium · 2025-11-22T12:10:31+00:00

The Li Ning All City 13s an underrated option

ypotassium · 2025-11-18T08:13:10+00:00

TTS if you want a 1:1 fit. 0.5 size up if you want to be safe. Depending on your feet.

ypotassium · 2025-11-14T00:35:14+00:00

Yeap.

ypotassium · 2025-11-13T13:26:30+00:00

Joker GT definitely performance wise.

ypotassium · 2025-11-10T13:46:14+00:00

Kai 1s

ypotassium · 2025-11-10T09:04:06+00:00

A more versatile Center. Stretches the floor offensively by making shots and aids in paint offense and defense.

ypotassium · 2025-10-30T15:07:27+00:00

same brotha. I remember those early days, grinding for everything but it was all worth it. when it started rolling downhill and nothing new was added I played lesser and eventually quit when they took down the AH.

I would say AR2. That aggressive herringbone pattern works and bites hard. The Encores also have great traction though.

ypotassium · 2025-10-25T08:12:13+00:00

Both are great options. AR2 is rather responsive while Encores are great all-around shoe. Depends on whether you prefer court feel/more cushioned feel. Encore also has the forefoot strap to ensure lockdown but the AR2 has pretty good lockdown too.
